Is It Wrong?

A Poem

Is it wrong to hope
For that gap of opportunity
I sense with my being?

I could be mistaken
There might be nothing there
But emptiness and a flare
Of longing

That’s on me
That’s my part
Perhaps there’s a lesson in it

For me not to depart
Too far from myself
In the midst of fantasy

Is it risky to believe
In what my heart
Perceives to be real?

That might be
Yet I can’t help it

Something’s stirred my soul
Awakened me from sleep

Regardless of what happens
The taste is bittersweet
